SELF-APPRAISAL

The Navy offered me a gamut of roles in leadership, project and human resource management. These plethora of experiences have certainly held me in good esteem and helped me to deliver beyond mandate. Spanning from my core skills of an Electrical engineer to handling leadership & management, to financial planning & supply chain management, to infrastructure augmentation, to event management etc, this profession has put me in good stead throughout my career spanning 20 years. Having served in Indian Navy for past 20 years and therefore having lived in an environment of military discipline, I fervently believe that self-discipline is the cornerstone in every walk of life. As a leader who has commanded men, I feel that the best way to win the hearts and minds of your men is to lead by an example – after all example is always better than percept.

During my tenure in the Navy, the tasks I was entrusted with required coordinated team work and man management. The requirements of the job often necessitated that I work hand in glove with my team members/comrades and synergise the efforts of all concerned, to achieve the desired result. From administrative to operational tasks, routine matters in harbour to critical deployments at sea, every enterprise entailed a cohesive effort to attain the final objective. I took up challenging roles in different capacities at various stages during my service career. While success in various appointments hinged largely on my steadfast involvement and individual acumen, the ultimate litmus test was the camaraderie and esprit de corps displayed by my team members, which I gainfully utilised.

I look forward to leveraging on this past experience at Indian Navy and to my mind, exposure in the field of HR, Project Management, Logistics & Supply Chain Management etc would go a long way in ensuring fulfill my dream. A career demanding managerial skills coupled with analytical mind set in the field of projects / human resource / supply chain / consulting / analytics would be an ideal platform to apply certain attributes that the Navy bestowed in me.
